Zotero: Don't get lost in the details - collect, sort and cite texts efficiently (Zoom)

Collecting and organizing references, creating literature lists or inserting references and bibliographies into a paper are all part of academic writing. Reference management programs are helpful tools that can make these tasks much easier. Zotero is a free and open-source reference management software that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux computers.

In this beginners' workshop, an experienced colleague will demonstrate how to save search results from catalogs and databases directly into Zotero, how to attach and annotate PDFs, and how to transfer the collected references into your paper. In addition, there will be many useful tips and tricks for working with reference management programs.

For the demonstration, the following systems/programs will be used:

• Windows 10 or higher
• Zotero 6 for Windows
• Firefox or Chrome
• MS Word 2019 for Windows

Everyone who is interested is welcome to attend. Please register for the workshop. It will only take place if there are a minimum number of registrations.

The login details for Zoom will follow shortly before the event.

Please install Zotero before the session if you would like to participate in small exercises. You can find information about the installation on the Zotero page. There is unfortunately no time during the session itself to troubleshoot installation issues.
